Question

There ______ quantities of apples in the basket and there was ______ milk in the bucket.

A．were; a number of	B．was; quantities of
C．were; a quantity of	D．was; a good many

Answer 1

C

解析试题分析：考查谓语单复数，由主语quantities of apples是复数，所以排除B、D，a number of意思“许多”， a quantity of意思“大量的”，句子意思“篮子里有许多苹果，桶里有大量的牛奶”
考点：考查谓语单复数
点评：考查谓语单复数是常考内容，要求学生做此类题时，首先知道主语是单数还是复数，由主语单复数来确定谓语的单复数
